marenziSo yes, the idea that a freshman roommate is to be endured is really relevant right now, even though I know it's partly my total neuroticism. I'm completely OCD about my space & she's really messy and disorganized; I'm dealing with this because hey, she can do whatever with her stuff. What I am not okay with is her leaving a bowl of ramen on her desk for a WEEK because she's always over at her boyfriend's (seriously, I saw her once between Thursday and Monday). I've talked to her about it and she keeps saying she'll take care of everything, but moldy ramen is a goddamn PROBLEM for me. Just because she's never in the room & doesn't have to deal with it all the time doesn't mean it's not her responsibility. And I know that if I clean things up for her now, I'll be doing it for the rest of the year. JFC this is stressing me so much more than it should, but really.
Aside from that, I'm quickly drowning under this workload and still loving being here. GOOD THINGS:
+It's already homecoming week (although combining that with week 3 aka HELL WEEK was a BAD IDEA) so we've been building the freshman bonfire all week. This is so fantastically designed that every year they have to redirect air traffic. It's ENORMOUS and I cannot wait because I am such a pyro. :D
+ When I told my parents I made the rifle team, my mom mailed me her old FBI range training shirt. It's hilariously old and really comfortable and I love it a lot.
+ Our SRS BSNS team meeting about training and goals devolved into determining the alcohol & strip club policy when we travel. I love these boys already.
+ I am way too in love with this clock! But really, a WORD CLOCK! In pretty colors! With little minute dots! So when I will the lottery & have $1600 to spend on clocks, you know what I'm getting.
+ This will never get old. So simple & so much fun.
+ ALSO YOU GUYS. YOU ARE AMAZING. ♥

I'm glad things are going mostly well, roommate issues aside. one of my TWO freshman roommates (they ran out of rooms so put three of us in one of the lounges. not fun) had a BIRD. and it was not a good situation. But I only had to put up with it for two quarters, and then the nice roommate and I moved out into another room. I wish you luck with the Ramen situation!
